Hansen–Vukićević conjecture on Zagreb indices
Hansen–Vukićević conjecture on Zagreb indices
Let be a simple finite graph with vertex set and edge set . Its first and second Zagreb indices are
Hansen–Vukićević conjecture. For any simple finite graph ,
Hansen and Vukićević posed this inequality as a comparison between the first and second Zagreb indices. It was disproved by the example , so the conjecture is refuted.
